Bile Duct Hyperplasia and Associated Abnormalities in the Buffaloes Infected With Fasciola gigantica
نویسندگان
چکیده
Liver samples of buffaloes infected with Fasciole gigantica were collected from the main abattoir of Hyderabad City. Histological studies of infected livers revealed severe damage resulting in disrupted hepatic cords, inflammation, atrophy and necrosis. Bile duct hyperplasia was prominent with proliferation of epithelial cells.

Experimental Life History and Biological Characteristics of Fasciola gigantica (Digenea: Fasciolidae)
This study was conducted to investigate the life history, morphology, and maturation of larval stages and adult worms of Fasciola gigantica in experimental mice. Lymnaea auricularia rubiginosa was used as the intermediate host, and Oryza sativa was used for encystment of the metacercariae, while Mus musculus was used as the definitive host for maturation study. Fresh eggs from the gall bladder ...
متن کاملBioaccumulation of Some Heavy Metals in the Liver Flukes Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica
BACKGROUND Heavy metals tend to bioaccumulate in living organisms, and their accumulation has been a major concern. As mammals are known to excrete heavy metals via their bile, it seems to be very promising to analyse metal burdens of parasites that infect the biliary tree such as liver flukes of the genus Fasciola. The present study was carried out to evaluate F. hepatica and F. gigantica as b...
متن کاملCholestasis caused by Fasciola gigantica.
Fascioliasis is an infectious disease caused by the hepatic trematodes Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. Here, we report the case of Fasciola gigantica presenting with biliary obstruction and abdominal pain that was diagnosed and treated by endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP). A 46-year-old woman presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain and jaundice. Physical examinat...
متن کاملA Consistent PCR-RFLP Assay Based on ITS-2 Ribosomal DNA for Differentiation of Fasciola Species
Objective(s): Fascioliasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by liver fluke species of Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. Differentiation of these two species, based on their morphological characteristics, is difficult. The current study aimed to use PCR-RFLP assay to distinguish between F. hepatica and F. gigantica , based on profiles of RFLP, produced by effect of endo...
